Elmhurst History Museum held its annual “Town vs. Gown” Vintage Baseball Game to determine the winner of the Cottage Hill Cup.

Elmhurst University faculty, staff, commissioners, volunteers, and elected officials, staff, commissioners, and volunteers played an old-fashioned ball game using the wildly different rules of 1858 to entertain baseball fans this past June.

After a close game, Elmhurst University won the match 13-12 and took home the trophy. The City of Elmhurst held the trophy in 2023.
